What is a good word to describe that feeling of awe you get when beholding something truly magnificent, but are unable to evaluate its’ cultural significance, expression or meaning because you don’t know whether an artist or Ai made it? We’re going to need that word a lot.

Parcel delivery firm DPD have replaced their customer service chat with an AI robot thing. It’s utterly useless at answering any queries, and when asked, it happily produced a poem about how terrible they are as a company. It also swore at me. 😂

A few ‘Kink’ iterations exchanged hands recently and #78 caught my eye, so I decided to plot it 🙂 A yellow ink on black plot of Kink #78👇 A part of @nikroope’s collection 🙏 #generativeart #plottertwitter

One cannot just "solve the AI alignment problem." Let alone do it in 4 years. One doesn't just "solve" the safety problem for turbojets, cars, rockets, or human societies, either. Engineering-for-reliability is always a process of continuous & iterative refinement.

This is nerdy but cool 🙂
In 2017, Apple filed a patent for a way to turn your iPhone into a Macbook. How? There’s a laptop casing and you dock your iPhone in the trackpad section (and the phone provides the processor, memory and storage). We need this.

Well this sucks. @fesshole suspended and I don't know why. I'm very happy to try and make the account work within the rules of Twitter - but I don't know what we've done wrong. 900k followers in the bin! Is there anyone at Twitter who can explain what's going on?
